I told them\u2014that is bad for us, it feels invasive and non-consensual. Even when we dress a certain way, we\u2019re not expecting someone to zoom in on specific body parts. And greater than us, it reflects badly on them\u2014that they\u2019re commodifying a girl\u2019s body for money and views.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While she noted that the photographers appeared receptive, Kapoor acknowledged the difficulty runs deeper. \u201cThey seemed receptive, but the difficulty is larger\u2014it\u2019s about consumption. Globally, content that objectifies women is essentially the most consumed. That\u2019s why it keeps getting circulated. Because you\u2019re a public figure in glamour, it happens more to you,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n<p>Highlighting the importance of consent, she drew a distinction between performance and exploitation. \u201cAt every stage, you may have to ask\u2014what did I consent to? For instance, I did a song called <em>\u2018Bheegi Saadi\u2019<\/em>, where I\u2019m dancing sensually in a wet saree. That was meant to be sensual. If someone finds it attractive, that\u2019s advantageous. But sexualising someone without consent is totally different\u2014and I\u2019m not okay with that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kapoor further identified how visuals are sometimes altered without her knowledge. \u201cThere are angles and ways things are shot or edited\u2014zoomed, slowed down\u2014without my knowledge. That\u2019s not my consent. Even on film sets, if a camera is placed somewhere I\u2019m not comfortable with, I should have the option to say no without being seen as unprofessional,\u201d she said, adding, \u201cEarlier, I used to be more polite and picked my battles. Now I make my point more clearly\u2014though still politely.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The actress also addressed how such portrayals affect her profession trajectory. \u201cI can\u2019t afford to stop caring, because these perceptions affect audiences, filmmakers, and the opportunities I get. If people keep seeing you in compromising visuals, they form a perception about your character. It\u2019s flawed, but it surely happens,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n<p>She added that these perceptions influence casting decisions as well. \u201cFilmmakers also think this fashion. In the event that they feel you\u2019re already overly visible in a certain way, they could hesitate to forged you. Audience perception directly impacts casting decisions. It\u2019s sad that individuals judge your values based in your clothes\u2014but that\u2019s the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kapoor revealed that she has recently taken steps to limit her public visibility. \u201cPreviously couple of months, I\u2019ve gone to great lengths to avoid being photographed. I had three releases back-to-back last yr\u2014I felt like people had seen an excessive amount of of me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite not actively searching for media attention, she said the quantity of content round her stays high. \u201cPeople say actors call the media\u2014I don\u2019t, aside from promotions. But there\u2019s already a lot content of me on the market that it doesn\u2019t feel like I\u2019ve disappeared in any respect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Concluding her thoughts, Kapoor admitted that the fear of misuse continues to affect her. \u201cI didn\u2019t like how I used to be being consumed\u2014due to AI, edits, and every thing. Even after I post something now, I overthink\u2014will this be misused or edited? I wish I could say I don\u2019t care\u2014but I do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For now, she believes caution is mandatory. \u201cWithout delay, I\u2019m not ready of power where I can completely ignore it. So, I\u2019ll play it secure for now, until I construct enough credibility to completely be myself without consequences,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also Read<\/strong>: Janhvi Kapoor recalls disturbing early deepfake experience: \u201cI saw an image of myself on a porn site\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2 alt=\"Bollywood News - Live Updates\" title=\"Bollywood News - Live Updates\" style=\"font-size: 0.9rem;\">BOLLYWOOD NEWS &#8211; LIVE UPDATES<\/h2>\n<p>Catch us for contemporary Bollywood News, Recent Bollywood Movies update, Box office collection, Recent Movies Release , Bollywood News Hindi, Entertainment News, Bollywood Live News Today &#038; Upcoming Movies 2026 and stay updated with latest hindi movies only on Bollywood Hungama.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;); }); Actor Janhvi Kapoor has spoken candidly about being oversexualised in the general public eye, addressing concerns around consent, paparazzi culture, and the growing misuse of digital content.
